I guess all those grim dystopian futures ruled by gangs of evil clowns is going to come true after all milotic
https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/07/juggalo-makeup-facial-recognition/amp/ Last year, Ticketmaster and LiveNation invested in a former military facial recognition company, with the hope that the technology could be used to both strengthen and speed up event entry. If that prospect thoroughly creeps you out, heres a simple life-hack to defeat Big Brother: become a Juggalo. In a revelation that is sure to freak out the FBI, Insane Clown Posses passionate fan base have unintentionally unlocked the secret to thwarting facial recognition. It turns out that Juggalos face makeup cannot be accurately read by many facial recognition technologies. Most common programs identify areas of contrast like those around the eyes, nose, and chin and then compare those points to images within a database. The black bands frequently used in Juggalo makeup obscure the mouth and cover the chin, totally redefining a persons key features. As Twitter use @tahkion points out (via Yahoo!), the black-on-white face paint tricks most facial recognition into incorrectly reading a persons jawline and, presumably, eye area. They broke down the basic results in a pair of tweets: Unfortunately, the Juggalo clan are not totally safe from all facial recognition technology. While most common software uses areas of light contrast to register identifying features, Apples Face ID instead uses depth perception. Since makeup only changes the apparent shape of your chin and not the depth of your dimples, Apples facial recognition renders the Juggalo makeup workaround useless. But at least youll be able to sneak past LiveNations facial scanning. --- Antifar had made one major error though. He'd ignored the sign that had cautioned him about cruelbuffalos wearing turbams. There was a key in between them. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Whoop whoop I'm down with the clown
Is what I would say, but I could always just do makeup like the main character from Deathgasm. Same result but with the added effect of scaring the right people. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Good, they've been through too much shit lately. Juggalos should be getting free handouts to whatever they want.
